Had it for almost a month. It's just not doing it for me. Sounds good on low volume and like ass at band volumes. After this long I should be able to have some decent sounds out of it at band volumes. When I plugged back into my Mesa Mark IV I realized that nothing replaces the sound and feel of a tube amp in a live setting. Everything is packed up and going back. Thanks Kemper. It was...interesting.
Agree with the rest of the crowd on the Thump....not really the best choice.
Nevertheless you need to tweak your rigs at gig volume, ain't gonna work otherwise. The other guitarist of my band did sold his $$$$ Mesa based rack (Triaxis, 2:95, G-major, Lexicon M400, Intellifex, 4x12) and got the Kemper.
The main thing is that you're happy with what you have and keep making great music, if for you is the Mesa that's fine...but I would like to hear your impressions after putting the KPA through a good system.
